Our documentary
is about the history of Nelly, she is a Chilean who left the country in
1978 due to the political, economic and social transformations that
Chile was experiencing
. She arrived in Nepal amid demonstrations that sought the end of monarchy. There she met a 10-year-old girl who was six months pregnant and who she cared for until Anita was born. The biological mother never accepted Anita for the conditions she had been conceived under. She left her 9 months after the girl was born, leaving Nelly in charge of Anita's care. For 11 years Nelly has been in charge of Anita's care in a country where there is one of the worst violations of human rights suffered by children, trafficking.

What happens with our children?

Unfortunately the victims of child trafficking are not all Nepalese, this is happening all over the world. A shameful market that moves more than 30,000 million dollars a year and that has become the third most lucrative illicit business after arms and drug trafficking. A market whose victims exceed 21 million people worldwide. In addition, human trafficking is not always sexual, there is also labor slavery, not only in factories, but also in homes, there are people trafficking for begging purposes and for organ trafficking.

What is happening in Nepal?

Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world that has been specially punished after the 2015 earthquake and the monsoons in 2017. The total population of Nepal reaches thirty million people, only 20% of it live in cities and the remaining 80% is engaged in agricultural tasks in rural areas. Nepal currently faces a lack of social perspectives, as well as a lack of education centers and infrastructure that in other countries are considered basic. About 37% of its inhabitants live on a dollar per day.

What can we do?

For us the production of this documentary seeks to generate awareness and show how vulnerability, poverty and lack of opportunities are the main breeding ground for trafficking in persons, especially children. We want to tell the story of Nelly and Anita on a journey to intimacy and a hard contrast. The contrast between the past and sometimes slightly diffuse images of the past and the current definite and real ones; between the shadows of death and the light of discovery; between the night in the city and the merciless sun in the valleys; between sleeplessness thinking how to find a way to help and the complex calm of waiting for years for a solution; between the cruelty of murderers and the unconditional love of a restless relative.

Why help?

For 11 years, Nelly has been seeking a solution for Anita's future, since by not having the figure of a father, the laws in Nepal keep Anita without identity and without rights to anything. For Nelly it has not been easy to face a transitional political system. The traffickers take advantage of this situation and cheat, in most cases, the victims or their families with false promises of work. We must do something and we must do it quickly. It is estimated that between 12,000 and 15,000 women and girls fall into trafficking networks each year, most of them sexually exploited in brothels in Bombay or New Delhi, or doing slave labor in Middle Eastern countries.

The service of a Nepali girl in a brothel in India can cost between 7 and 70 euros, depending on the nature of the client, the age of the girl and the "prestige" of the brothel itself. The money that the traffickers have been able to obtain for the sale of the girl ranges between 850 and 2,200 euros. Girls are sold from one brothel to another to create the image before the clientele that they are "new" girls, since the price of girls loses value over time. When they can no longer make any profit, if they survive, they are thrown away, most of them carrying physical and mental illnesses that will accompany them for the rest of their lives. This is how trafficking in persons works.

53% of the victims of trafficking are for sexual exploitation and 43% are for slave labor.

Over four million people in Nepal are stateless as women aren't allowed
to pass their citizenship onto their children. With the latest
constitutional deadline passing, concerns are growing for these
undocumented people.
